Emerald Hotels with Breakfast

After a great day exploring the Yarra Valley we stayed one night at this beautiful property, Emerald Ridge, in the Guest Room. As soon as you turn up the driveway you know you're in for a treat. The hosts greeted us on arrival and showed us all we needed to know about the room. You're then left in peace to really enjoy the modern, well designed and spacious accommodation which is also right in the heart of nature. The room featured a king size bed, a lounge area with two comfortable chairs, a small table for two, a large TV (which can rotate to any direction in the room), books, magazines, chess board, a luxurious bathroom with two shower heads, a large spa bath, and a small kitchenette with toaster and microwave. There is air conditioning and a gas fireplace depending on your needs. There was a lovely bottle of sparkling wine and a block of chocolate in the room, as well as everything you needed for breakfast - bacon, toast, an assortment of cereal, fresh fruit and peach cups, yoghurts, orange juice, milk, spaghetti and baked beans and an assortment of spreads. We had visited wineries and cheese producers, went fruit picking, went to Emerald Lake Park and to Healesville Santuary, but both my husband and I agree that our favourite part of the trip was enjoying the sparkling wine and cheese and crackers on the day we arrived, sitting on our own private balcony, looking over the farm with the rain falling through the trees at the end of the balcony. If you're looking for a little piece of heaven - this is it.
